Ancient DNA Reveals Origins of Multiple Sclerosis in Europe

The regional variation in certain traits found in modern Europeans was caused by differences in migrants' dispersal patterns, contradicting the idea that genetic differences arose mainly as people adapted to specific locations in Europe. [ more ]

Some ultra-processed foods are good for your health, WHO-backed study finds

Bread and cereals, despite being ultra-processed foods, reduce the risk of these diseases due to their fiber content.
Other ultra-processed foods like sauces, spreads, condiments, sweets, ready meals, savoury snacks, and plant-based alternatives to meat do not increase the risk of multimorbidity. [ more ]
